Seconds picture looks like a male but it might be just the angle of the picture.
try to get closer pictures of the vent(where the tail meets with the body)

First reptile, and u chose a chameleon

You have a lot of reading to do, and this forum is the best to get ALL the information you need! (about supplies, habitat, behavior etc)

Btw, looks like a female to me, but i could be wrong.. maybe a few more photos could help..

Alkis Pieris - haha!...yes I love them!...and I have done a lot of research and have a friend that has been helping me out with everything...she has had a few chameleons
...as far as getting closer pictures...this last one is about as close as I can get because my camera doesnt have insane zooming and he/she is afraid of it...I just got him thursday so he is still getting used to everything...sunday was the first day we saw him eat...and just a few minutes ago when I took this last picture was the first time he actually walked on my finger...but he got off in like a few seconds...another question...is there a trick to making them comfortable with you?

yeah he doesnt look crazy about the camera, when they get black it means fear/stress/anger... i meant zoom, but ok, since ur phone cant zoom any more..
A "trick" to get them to like u... not really.. they just need their time to get used first to the new environment/habitat, and then to the owner.. Panthers are usually easy when u got the proper knowledge, so.. good luck, and welcome to the chameleon world..

how are you guys looking at the bulge...cause to me it looks like it has one..and around its eyes are some red and blue...so i assumed that would mean its a male...or am i totally wrong?
